Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6467 Dark God’s Punishment

Lu Ze once more appeared and directly used his Divine Sovereign magical item to attack them.

He had fled in fear last time, but afterward, he realized he had most likely been tricked. Enraged, he immediately rushed back, only to discover that the Earth Cauldron had escaped with everyone, leaving behind a false trail that sent him in the wrong direction.

When he finally noticed the deception, he tore straight toward the Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range, where he once again found the Earth Cauldron.

The thought that he, a dignified Heaven-tier nine star heir, had been so easily duped nearly drove him mad with fury. Seeing the original devil experts absorbing karmic luck beneath the Earth Cauldron, he attacked without hesitation, summoning his astral claw.

This astral claw was a Divine Sovereign magical item, but it was definitely nothing compared to the Earth Cauldron. Lu Ze was well aware of this. So, his target was not the Earth Cauldron—it was the barrier that the Earth Cauldron had erected.

“Heavens, it’s a nine star heir!”

Startled cries rang out from the experts in the distance.

After all, the nine star line was shrouded in mystery and awe; most had only heard of them through legend. They had never encountered one.

“He’s attacking head-on? The nine star line truly is tyrannical.”

Everyone knew that the first to strike would draw the greatest retaliation, but this kind of reckless dominance fit perfectly with the reputation of the nine star heirs.

Just as the astral claw was about to smash into the Earth Cauldron’s barrier, a halberd slammed down from above. Black qi exploded as Cang Lu appeared before Lu Ze.

Lu Ze caught his astral claw back, and the immense power that surged through it made his body tremble. His expression changed.

“Dark energy? Who are you?!” Lu Ze asked.

Cang Lu did not reply. Instead, he spread his black wings, and immense power erupted like a volcano. The Bloodfiend Halberd cleaved through the void, releasing a massive blade of darkness.

BOOM!

Lu Ze hastily blocked with his astral claw. The massive blade of darkness exploded on contact, and the impact sent shockwaves through him. His arms went numb, and he nearly lost his grip on his weapon.

“What kind of power is this? He hasn’t condensed an essence rune, yet he wields law power?!” Lu Ze was startled.

For a moment, Lu Ze had suspected that the armored figure was Long Chen in disguise, but that thought collapsed instantly. This dense black qi couldn’t be faked. Whoever this was, it wasn’t Long Chen.

This person had no essence rune, yet his law power was overwhelming. The realization sent chills down Lu Ze’s spine.

Cang Lu’s Bloodfiend Wings quivered, and in a flash, he appeared directly before Lu Ze, his halberd raised high. Behind Cang Lu, a colossal shadow manifested—a towering figure that mirrored his every motion.

“Heaven earth law manifestation!” Lu Ze exclaimed, his expression shifting dramatically.

A heaven earth law manifestation was something only Divine Sovereigns could use. How could someone use it here?

“How can this be? The heaven region’s battlefield cannot produce a true Divine Sovereign! Is this a mistake?”

“Who is that black armored fellow? That law aura is absolutely terrifying.”

“The heaven earth law manifestation is indeed the unique ability of Divine Sovereigns, but some special bloodlines and legacies allow a Sovereign Lord to use it as well. However, the laws of the heaven region’s battlefield do not permit Sovereign Lords to exist here either.”

The spectators were utterly confused. As Cang Lu’s power surged, the faint aura of a puppet faded away from his body. To outsiders, he no longer seemed like a puppet at all, but a mysterious powerhouse who didn’t like to show his face.

“This must be fake! I refuse to believe you can use a true law manifestation!” Lu Ze roared. “Eight Star Battle Armor!”

The figure behind Cang Lu raised its own halberd, its aura enough to make Lu Ze’s hair stand on end. Then, Cang Lu swung the Bloodfiend Halberd, and the figure behind him did the same.

“Dark God’s Punishment!” shouted Cang Lu.

The void shattered, and the laws of order split apart. Cang Lu’s halberd cleaved through spacetime itself, twisting reality as it fell.

This was the first time Cang Lu had shouted a technique’s name since becoming Long Chen’s puppet. Only by doing so could he unleash his full power.

The halberd strike carried his full might, and it turned into an awe-inspiring attack that split heaven and earth.

“Starry River Severs Eternity!” Lu Ze roared.

His starry battle armor erupted with radiant light, taking the form of a colossal astral giant. The giant’s massive hand gripped the astral claw and swung it through the air like a surging starry river.

BOOM!

An immense halberd came crashing down, cleaving through the river of stars. In an instant, that celestial river shattered like a burst of fireworks—brilliant yet short-lived. A mysterious force quickly absorbed their light.

As the astral giant crumbled, Lu Ze spat out blood.

With a twisted expression, he roared, “Who are you?! The Dark God’s Punishment is the unique skill of the Dark Master’s line!”

In the primal chaos era, the Dark God’s Punishment was a technique that struck terror into the hearts of the experts from the nine heavens. It carried power that broke the very laws of heaven and earth, enough to reverse the tide of an entire battlefield.

When unleashed, this dark energy would engulf the land, granting overwhelming dominance to the Dark lineage while suppressing the nine heavens’ cultivators until they were utterly annihilated.

However, this time, Cang Lu lacked the support of the Dark Master’s faith energy. The technique’s might was greatly diminished, stripped of its power to twist the laws of the world.

Even so, its residual dark energy was enough to terrify Lu Ze, burning even his soul.

Worse yet, when he summoned his Eight Star Battle Armor, he realized with horror that his core astral energy was leaking away. His full-power strike carried only eighty percent of its usual force.

He glared at Cang Lu, eyes wide with fury and confusion. The starry sky swirling above made him realize what was happening—the mysterious starry sky was absorbing his astral energy.

“His astral energy is quickening Long Chen’s rebirth!” The Earth Cauldron’s voice rang out sharply, and Fei Shuang’s figure blurred into motion. Starlight rippled beneath her feet as she charged at Lu Ze.

“Last time, you escaped,” she shouted coldly. “This time, your life is mine!”
